...I guess the real point of contention for me is the Van Allen radiation belt. No lead was used to line the walls of any of the capsules or the LEMs. The Astronauts sat "cooking" in that much radiation for a week? WTF?]]>Jul 21st 2007 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicapollo.html]]>Jul 21st 2007 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/
"Proponents of the Apollo Moon Landing Hoax allegations have argued that space travel to the moon is impossible because the Van Allen radiation would kill or incapacitate an astronaut who made the trip. James Van Allen himself dismissed these ideas. In practice, Apollo astronauts who traveled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and would have received a harmless dose [6]. Nevertheless NASA said that they deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimize the radiation. Astronauts who visited the moon would probably have a slightly higher risk of cancer during their lifetimes."

When they eventually have the fake Mars landing, the landing scene will look a lot more realistic thanks to the advances in computer-generated scenes. I'm sort of anxious to hear what the first astronaut that steps on fake Martian soil says. Maybe something amusing like, "I'll be the first man to eat a Mars Bar on Mars." Look for a bunch of Martian rocks on eBay when they return from the fake journey.

Nobody would be foolish enough to spend a year in space unprotected from solar radiation. They'd be riddled with cancer in no time at all.]]>Jul 22nd 2007 1:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://physics.ucsd.edu/~tmurphy/apollo/apollo.html]]>Jul 22nd 2007 4:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/

The Apollo 11 astronauts got through the Van Allen radiation belt in half an hour. ]]>Jul 21st 2007 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/Jul 22nd 2007 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/Aug 8th 2007 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/21/nasa-tests-future-moon-landing-robots-on-canadas-fake-moon-site/
